Looking for some 1973-1974 GMC tailgate lettering that goes on the upper left hand, or drivers side of the tailgate. Really just need the letter "C" but I would buy a whole set if needed. I'm looking for driver quality, my pickup is not a show truck! Anyone know where to find any? Thanks
This is my friend's '74 GMC Sierra Camper Special. It has the lettering like you are looking for. The chrome letters were an option on fancier pickups. I saw your ad on Bisman looking for the letter C. Wish I knew where another one was for you!

Thank you for sharing mcarlo that is a beautiful truck and a nice learning experience to see there. I like the hubcaps, those are pretty wizzard. I want some now.

Or just after the side saddle gas tank debacle, I believe Dan Rather referred to them as a Great Molotov Cocktail.

Oh, you mean where it was rigged to explode because the producers weren't getting the results they wanted ?
:321:

Yeah, no idea what you are talking about.

A-s- sholes.

You know what you might be able to do, you could take measurements off the G, make a model in CAD (turn it into a C), and have it 3d printed.

Or I could do it for you if you aren't good with cad (not the 3d printing part) All I'd need are some accurate measurments (use a caliper).

I know this is an older post but did you find your tailgate letters? I have a couple sets (maybe more) of varying condition.

Do you still have any sets?

I finally got my hands on one of these tailgates and I'm missing the letters.

I also am wanting to model them in CAD to maybe 3d print reproductions.
